image0-wordpress-table-of-contents-intro

A WordPress table of contents is an index for your entire website. It automatically lists all the content on your website so that people can easily see what’s on your site and find what they’re looking for.

Most so-called ‘table of contents’ WordPress plugins let you create tables of contents within individual posts. However they don’t list all the content on your website as a whole. These plugins are a useful way of adding navigation within longer posts or pages, creating jump links to all the sections within that page or post. However they’re no use if you want a sitewide table of contents listing all your pages.

There is one WordPress plugin that works differently to this and creates a table of contents for all the pages on your website. You can use it to list pages, create an index of blog posts, or list multiple types of content such as pages and posts together. You can even exclude specific pages that you don’t want to include in the table of contents. In this article, I’m going to tell you how to achieve all these things.

Do I need a table of contents for my website?

Some websites will benefit from an index or table of contents, whereas others probably don’t need one. If you have a fairly small site with just a few pages then a table of contents is probably unnecessary – it’s more suited to larger sites.

Ask yourself these questions to help you decide if your WordPress website needs a table of contents:

  • – Does your website have many pages, not all of which fit into the navigation menu?
  • – Would you like to display links to all your content on a single page so that people can easily find what they’re looking for?
  • – Would you like your users to be able to sort and filter the content on your website to find the page they want to visit?
  • – Does your blog have a large number of posts, so that your users have to scroll through many pages to find specific information?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions then it’s worth adding a table of contents.

What’s the difference between a WordPress table of contents and a sitemap?

Lots of websites have a sitemap instead of a table of contents. There are 2 types of sitemap – XML and HTML:

  • – XML sitemap – We can ignore XML sitemaps for now because they’re used by search engine bots and won’t help real people to navigate your website.
  • – HTML sitemap – These provide an unformatted list of all the pages on your website, with a link to each page. You can use a plugin such as Sitemap to create an HTML sitemap.

A lot of website owners provide an HTML sitemap because they think it will help their SEO. They normally link to the sitemap from the footer of their website and don’t really direct users to it. For this reason, HTML sitemaps aren’t usually an important part of a website’s navigation.

A table of contents is designed to be more prominent than a typical sitemap. It should form a prominent part of the navigation for your website. For example, you might add a ‘Table of Contents’ or ‘Index’ link to your menu. People will then click on it, expecting to find a user-friendly list of pages so they can find what they’re looking for.

You can do this with an HTML sitemap – instead of linking to it from the footer, you can add it to the navigation menu.

Alternatively, you can create an even more user-friendly WordPress table of contents using the Posts Table Pro plugin. This displays your content in an actual table which your users can search, sort and filter to quickly find the page they need.

Unlike a sitemap, your table of contents can have multiple columns. This means that you can add extra information about each page such as featured image, excerpt and anything else that will enhance your table of contents.

How to create a website table of contents

Follow these steps to create an interactive WordPress table of contents for your website. I’ve also provided a video tutorial where you can see me creating my own table of contents.

1. Install Posts Table Pro

First, you need to get the Posts Table Pro plugin, install and activate it on your website. This provides the functionality you need to display your pages as a table of contents.

2. Add a basic table of contents

Next, add the following shortcode to any page or post:

[posts_table post_type=”page”]

This will create a table of contents listing all the pages on your website.

3. Configure the table of contents

As you can see from the above screenshot, the columns in the table aren’t particularly relevant. The pages are listed in the wrong order and there are some pages which wouldn’t normally be included in a table of contents. You can configure the table to make it work exactly as you’d like.

Posts Table Pro has lots of options which you can read about in the documentation. Here are some popular options for tables of contents:

Posts, pages or both?

The above shortcode will display pages from your WordPress website. If you prefer, you can use it to display posts – for example to create an index for your blog posts. You can also set it to display both pages and posts, or even custom post types.

Shortcode example – posts only:

[posts_table]

image2-wordpress-posts-index

Choose your columns

By default, the table of contents will show columns for Title, Content, Author and Date. This is fine if you’re displaying blog posts, but is less suitable for a list of pages.

Use the columns option to choose which columns appear in the table. I’d recommend adding columns for title and either content or excerpt, plus anything else you’d like to include.

Example shortcode:

[posts_table post_type=”page” columns=”title,content”]

This will display a 2-column table of contents with the title of each page, plus the first few sentences of the page content.

You can control this even further using the documentation. For example you can rename the column headers and choose how much content appears in the table of contents.

image3-wordpress-table-of-contents-columns

Control the order of pages in the table

The sort_by option lets you control how your pages are ordered in the table of contents. This is really important because a table of contents needs to list your pages in a logical order.

By default, your pages will be sorted by their publication date which isn’t very logical for a table of contents. It’s better to sort the table by Menu Order or list the pages alphabetically by title.

Example shortcode:

[posts_table post_type=”page” columns=”title,content” sort_by=”menu_order” sort_order=”asc”]

image4-wordpress-table-of-contents-order

Exclude anything you don’t want in your table of contents

You can also tell the table of contents to exclude specific pages or posts.

To do this, you need to know the ID of the pages and posts you want to exclude. To find the ID, go to the Edit Page or Edit Post screen and look for the number in the URL – for example if the URL ends with /wp-admin/post.php?post=13781&action=edit then the ID is 13781.

Example shortcode:

[posts_table post_type=”page” columns=”title,content” sort_by=”menu_order” sort_order=”asc” exclude=”13781,13782″]

4. Add the page to your menu

Finally, go to Appearance > Menus in the WordPress admin and add the page containing your table of contents to the menu. Call it something self-explanatory such as ‘Index’ or ‘Table of Contents’.

And there you have it! You’ve created a WordPress table of contents listing your pages in a user-friendly format. By providing an index of your website content in this way, your visitors can easily find the content they’re looking for. They can type a keyword into the search box. They can click a column header to sort the table. They can even choose how many pages are listed on each page of the table.

This will help people to see what your website is offering and how to find it. This will improve the user journey, reducing your bounce rates – and ultimately, resulting in more conversions for you.

Forget the old saying; it’s now data which makes the world go round. With the continued evolution of technology, bytes have become one of the driving factors in seeing the world turn.

It’s truly staggering just how much of an impact they have on the global community, with a mind-boggling 2.5 Quintillion bytes created on a daily basis.

Just to put this continued boom into some context:

• That many bytes are enough to fill 10 million Blu-ray discs
• Which are themselves enough to stack up to four Eiffel Towers
• 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last two years alone

The growth is perhaps no better demonstrated than by the GB usage comparison between 1992 and the predicted 2018 rate.

In 92 only 100GB was downloaded every day, whereas figures predict there will be 50,000GBs being downloaded every second in a couple of years’ time.

Facebook has declared that its Instant Articles program will be interested in distributers “of any size, anyplace on the planet” beginning on April 12, 2016. Also, with the free module we’re uncovering today, you’ll have the capacity to set up your self-facilitated or VIP WordPress for the requests of this new channel.

Instant Articles is a Facebook feature which allows you to load your content 10 times faster by using a customized mobile format. It is based on the same technology used in Facebook apps for mobile devices.

The native format includes a built-in set of interactive tools like auto-play video and tap-to-zoom image galleries, bringing stories to life on mobile devices. Early analysis suggests that people engage more deeply with the immersive experience and share Instant Articles with their friends more often than standard web articles.

Many popular media sites like BuzzFeed, TechCrunch, Mashable, and countless others are using it on their websites. You can easily spot instant articles in your Facebook feed by the lightning bolt icon.

Install it now from WordPress plugin directory.

How it works –
Facebook has a review process where they verify that all Instant Articles generated from your website are properly formatted and adhere to their community standards and content policies before you’ll be able to start pushing content to the platform. (You can get more information in our Instant Articles FAQ.) Instant Articles generally should contain all the content a person would see in the web version of an article, so if you have extended the standard WordPress Post template in any way, it’s likely that you’ll need to extend the plugin’s default output too.
What Do You Need to Enable Facebook Instant Articles in WordPress?
There are a few requirements for setting up Facebook Instant articles on your WordPress site. You need a:
Facebook page for your WordPress website.
Facebook page app (we will show you how to create it later in this article).
At least 10 or more articles on your website.
Instant Articles for WP plugin (We will show you how to set it up later in this article).
Having said that, let’s get started by applying for Facebook Instant Articles.
Pros and Cons of Facebook Instant Articles
Like everything else, there are some advantages and disadvantages of using instant articles on your website.
Pros of Using Facebook Instant Articles
Faster load time means significant improvement in user experience.
Due to speed, users are more likely to share your content.
Access to monetization options through Facebook Audience Network.
Boosted Facebook Page Reach.
Facebook’s massive user base can bring new wave of traffic to your site.
Cons of Using Facebook Instant Articles
Users will not see your sidebars. It will hide your useful widgets, email list forms, and everything else that is not part of the article.
You may witness a drop in advertising revenue, as Facebook instant articles limits the advertisers as well as the number of ads you can show on an article.
You can use some images and videos on your article, but Facebook instant articles will limit that as well.
Most shortcodes, custom fields, and other WordPress features will not be displayed in your articles.
The Instant Articles program is one of several current initiatives that aim to bring improved speed and performance to the experience of reading news on your mobile device. We are thrilled to be working with Facebook on making it easier than ever for WordPress publishers to reach and engage their audiences in new ways.

  1. INTRO TO WORPRESS

 

As a business owner, you may want to also install a WordPress blog to your own website as this makes it easier and faster for you to add fresh content regularly. That’s because you don’t need to know any coding or how to use special software to add new pages. Google and other search engines like sites that have new content and, if it is optimized well, you are rewarded with relevant and targeted traffic to grow your business.

 

WordPress is a free blogging tool and publishing platform and is often categorized as a content management system (CMS). WordPress has many features including a plug-in architecture, a template system and, as of August 2016, it is the platform for 80% of all new websites, making it the most popular CMS in use on the Internet.

  

  1. ABOUT SEO AND COPYWRITING

 

To attract the right traffic and convert sales leads on your website or WordPress blog, you’ll need to incorporate SEO and copywriting into your selected webpages or blog posts. SEO is the active practice of optimizing your site by improving internal and external aspects to increase the traffic that your site receives from search engines. This report outlines various simple SEO tips, which will help you reach your online goals effectively by optimizing your website with SEO copywriting. Without the right keywords with integrated SEO copywriting, you will not attract the right traffic to your website or WordPress blog. All that effort into a well-designed site will go to waste. But help is on the way!

 

After reading this document, you should be able to write copy with the correct keyword strategies. As well, you will be able to optimize those keywords and create benefit-driven titles for your website or WordPress blog to increase your visitor traffic and customer base.

  

  1. CHOOSING THE RIGHT KEYWORDS

 

First you’ll need to choose the right keywords for organic or free search traffic. So make sure you have your main keywords on your chosen webpages. Each page should be around 300 words. You should place your page’s main keywords in the first and last 25 words on that page. To find what other keywords Google has associated with your main keywords, here are two methods:

Use the tilde “~” command to find associated phrases in Google. Just type into Google search: ~keywords. Variations will be highlighted in bold print.

Or visit Google Trends at http://www.google.com/trends/ to discover the top 100 searches to incorporate into your blog post. This might help give you an idea for one of your blog posts. For example, “What is Bitcoin?” was one of the top 100 searches and I recently wrote a single blog post about it on CoinFest Art & Trade Show involving Bitcoin on a one-page site, which attracted Twitter followers, Facebook Likes and an interview with CBC TV (mainstream media).

 

Once you have your right set of keywords, you’ll need to select your best 10 webpages or blog posts to optimize to attract relevant and targeted traffic to grow your business. And each page or blog post should contain only one set of keywords. You cannot mix them up or you will not get any or good results from search engines!

 

 

  1. OPTIMIZING YOUR PAGE OR POST

 

Step 1 – Page title:

Include the keyword in the title of the page. The page title is located at the top of your HTML page and it tells the search engines what your page is about. When you open your page in a browser these are the words at the very top of the screen. The title tag is crucial to ‘on-page optimization’; it should include your main keywords and it should be 63 characters or less if you want your title to appear in full on Google. Place the title in the title tag on the webpage itself and in the URL for that page. Pick the main keywords from the title and place them in the anchor URL instead. For example: www.yourwebsite.com/keywords.html

 

Step 2 – Meta tags:

The Meta Tag contains the description for your web page. Your description will show up in all the search engines so you have to be careful to write precisely and objectively. It should be about 140 characters or around 20 words. Make sure to include your keywords but don’t spam (don’t repeat your keywords more than once). Mention each of your keywords separately in the meta description tag and use variations of your keywords. Include each of the plural and singular forms of the keywords in the keyword tag to optimize your webpage for one keyword. You should choose only one set of keywords per page.

 

Step 3 – H1 tag:

Add an H1 header tag aka as a headline. Once the code screen is open, click “edit”, then “find” and search for the text “H1”. This is the HTML code used to enclose what’s called an H1 header tag. You should always include your main keyword within an H1 header tag.

 

Step 4 – H2 tag:

Next add what’s called an H2 header tag or subhead. Your H2 tag should always come after your H1 tag.

 

Step 5 – Bold, italics and underline:

Go through your webpage and add your most important keyword throughout your page content. You will want to bold, italicize or underline your text with keywords. Only choose to use one or two of these styles with your keywords to make it look ‘natural’.

 

Step 6 – Alt tags:

Add your keyword to alt image tags. This tag should have your title or the main keywords from your page title to be the most effective. The anchor text is also important to know – these are the underlined, clickable text or words in a link. To check Google for all web pages containing your keywords in the anchor tags, type into Google Search “allinanchor:yourkeywords”.

 

Step 7 – Home page links:

Add a link from each webpage, within your website, that says “Your Keyword Home”. This link should link back to your main page using the URL; otherwise, you split up your back links. Note: It should not link to index.htm or index.html. It should like you’re your actual URL.

 

Step 8 – All page titles:

Finally, add the keyword to the page title to all of your select web pages for optimization. Just add main keywords to the beginning of the page title. The new title of this page should be: Your Keyword. This encourages the search engines to see that your website is all about your keyword. Once you’ve optimized your selected webpages or blog posts with your chosen keywords, you’ll also need to include effective copywriting techniques.

  1. MORE SEO COPYWRITING TIPS

 

By placing your top-performing keywords in strategic places on your website, you tell the search engine “spiders” that those keywords describe exactly what your site is all about. And that’s what convinces the search engines to include your site in the search results for those keywords. Here are the most important SEO copywriting tips for search engines, including Google.

 

Your domain name contains your top keywords:

Search engines love URLs that contain keywords that visitors type into search boxes! These sites whose domain names include keywords will likely rank higher in the search engine results for those keywords in comparison to sites that don’t.

 

A well-written benefits-driven title tag:

Your title tag is a simple piece of HTML code that’s located in the “head,” or top, of your Web page. It’s a bit like indexing your webpage, like a library. In your title tag, include a detailed, accurate and benefits-rich line of text that describes your business clearly, letting potential visitors know exactly what they can expect to find on your site. It should be no more than 63 characters. Any title tag text over 63 characters may be cut off by certain search engines.

 

Your benefits-driven headline tags:

A headline tag is like a brightly colored post-it note within your HTML source code that alerts search engine spiders to your headline and subheads, both of which contain important information for the search engines. Your headline should contain the benefit your visitor expects to receive or experience on that webpage.

 

Benefits sell while features tell:

Benefits are why your visitors will enjoy your service or products and features are the attributes of your services or products. For example, web optimization is a feature of web content, while web traffic increase is the benefit of web optimization. Don’t forget to update your sitemap.xml for Google and your urllist.txt for Yahoo before submitting these to the top two search engines.

 

Use a Call to Action (CTA):

A CTA is an image or text that prompts visitors to take action, such as “subscribe to a newsletter”, “view a webinar”, or “request a product demo”. CTAs should direct your visitors to landing pages, where you can collect their contact information in exchange for a valuable marketing offer. In that sense, an effective CTA results in more leads and sales conversions for your website.
